Magnetogravity wave

A magnetogravity wave is a type of plasma wave. A magnetogravity wave is an acoustic gravity wave which is associated with fluctuations in the background magnetic field.[1] In this context, gravity wave refers to a classical fluid wave, and is completely unrelated to the relativistic gravitational wave.

This article is about acoustic waves in plasma. For the gravitational analog of electromagnetism, see Gravitoelectromagnetism.

Examples

Magnetogravity waves are found in the corona of the Sun.

gollark: If you specify them separately you run into weird states.
gollark: Yes, I agree. The tones are to some extent inferred from context and the actual content.
gollark: I can Latin a bit, having done it for an unreasonable amount of time at school.
gollark: Unpossible.
gollark: Is it, though? I mean, it ignores half the possible available chars.
